[X2Go-Dev] Fwd: Re: [X2Go-User] Client for PowerPC Macs ?

[Mark Dammer]

Hi Mihai and the rest of the dev team,

thanks for all the support - you guys rock!
I tried that version. It starts fine and connects to the server from my 
G4 but it comes up with an error message stating that it cannot start 
X11. I tried to start X11 manually before starting x2goclient, but I 
still get the "cannot start X11" error.
The error message mentions possible problems with 24bit colour 
applications - I switched to 16bit (both in X11 and x2goclient), but it 
did not solve the problem.
Tried to get xquartz, but it does not work yet, because I would need to 
install Mac Ports what in itself depends on XCode what is an over 900Mb 
download - too much of a stretch for my shared rural narrow/broadband 
connection at the moment.
If there is no obvious solution for the problem I will try to get XCode 
from somewhere else and proceed further.

thanks a lot,
Mark
